Pittsburgh Steelers (DEF, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Not feeling the whole Buffalo Bill thing? How about a Steeler team that is riding high off of a Sunday-night shellacking of the Chiefs on primetime television? After recording only one sack over their first three games, the Steelers (namely, Cameron Heyward) turned in four sacks […]

Buffalo Bills (DET, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Bills just provided New England with its first shutout since 2006, and its first shutout at home since 1993. Injury-hampered offense be damned, that’s impressive. Even if one doesn’t want to put much stock in that, this is a Bills team that […]

Dwayne Washington (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues if he appears healthy OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After a great deal of buzz about Dwayne Washington's increased role and confidence from the coaching staff, he burned owners who took a chance on him. He managed just six yards on two carries before leaving with an ankle injury. He had a […]

Chris Thompson (RB, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Jones had his best game of the year, but Chris Thompson also made his presence felt with a receiving touchdown early in the game. Thompson carried the ball just three times for 24 yards and caught two balls for 16 yards. Thompson now has […]

C.J. Spiller (RB, SEA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Discarded by the Saints and then signed by Seattle just days ago, C.J. Spiller suddenly has life again. Pete Carroll didn't waste any time getting Spiller involved in the offense, giving him a pair of carries and three targets after just three days with the team. He […]

Kenneth Dixon (RB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Some of you smartly stashed Kenneth Dixon last week in anticipation of a return in Week 5. Dixon hasn't been formally activated and there isn't any way to predict how much playing time he will see, but he makes for a worthy add due to his potential […]

Terrance West (RB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Terrance West took the lead role in Baltimore's running game and may have made Justin Forsett expendable again. He ran for 113 yards on 21 carries and scored the first touchdown by a Ravens running back this season. The impending return of Kenneth Dixon may […]

Bilal Powell (RB, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Bilal Powell saw an uptick in usage against the Seahawks as starter Matt Forte is slowly seeing his role decrease. Now, Forte's early exit due to a leg injury has put his status for Week 5 in question, making Powell a strong, speculative add, especially for […]

Monday Morning NFL Recap - Week 4 Surprises, Busts & Laughers

To be honest, I'm not really sure what happened this weekend.  Watching the games this week, I gave it 50-50 odds I somehow drove through some sort of weird sci-fi dimensional portal when I wasn't looking and ended up on Htrae or something and I just can't cope right now.  The Rams are winning the NFC […]

Fantasy Basketball Rankings Analysis: Overvalued NBA Players

Last week I took a look at some players who might be undervalued according to their pre-draft Yahoo! rankings. This week I flip the switch and discuss a handful of players who are a bit overvalued for my taste! So when everyone else is sipping the wrong flavor of Kool-Aid on these guys, just let them pass […]

Fantasy College Football CFB Rankings: NCAA Top 10 (10/3/16)

  Mid-term exams came early this fall for a number of the top football programs in the country. There were match-ups between high-ranked opponents--in the Big Ten, the SEC, the Pac-12 and the ACC--with some teams facing their first big tests of the still-young season. And, as with all exams, some passed, and some failed. […]

Arizona Fall League Preview: 2016 Scottsdale Scorpions

The Yankees drew the short end of the bunch by getting paired with the Los Angeles Angels prospects. That isn't to say that Taylor Ward isn't a good player, he just isn't an elite talent. The Scottsdale Scorpions are a top heavy team, but even that talent doesn't compare to other clubs in the league. Editor's Note: Purchase a […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids (Week 4)

There are 31 teams that are too hard to get a grasp of, and then there’s the New England Patriots. They are the only reliable team week to week. I think my third rule for survivor, saving the best teams until the end, is no longer viable. Each week, take the team with a favorable […]

Next week, the return of Tom Brady and Josh Gordon will feel like Christmas for owners who rolled the […]

Week 4 Rankings Analysis: Nick Mariano vs. Industry Consensus

Week 3 went pretty well for us. We pushed Ben Roethlisberger down a few slots and said we didn’t have faith in Ryan Tannehill. Talked up Jordy Nelson as needing more respect, and my inner Giants fan was validated when DeSean Jackson torched Big Blue for a TD. It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, as […]
